Kanye West also made antisemitic comments in unaired Tucker Carlson clips

Fox News host Tucker Carlson dedicated two nights of his top-rated hourlong show last week to his interview with Kanye West, now legally known as Ye. Carlson and the other hosts at Fox News were very enthusiastic about West and his comments — at least until West got suspended from Instagram and Twitter for a series of antisemitic posts over the weekend. But West also made some antisemitic comments during his sit-down with Carlson, Vice News reports, and Carlson's team edited them out.

Portions of the interview that didn't make the final cut, obtained by Vice's Motherboard site, included everything from "a simple statement of fact from Ye — 'I was vaccinated'" — to "numerous antisemitic sentiments" and "a strange and lengthy digression about 'fake children'" that West claimed were "placed into my house to sexualize my kids," Vice reports.
